Missing Mills County teens caught in Albany

Two teenagers that left a residential facility for troubled youth near Goldthwaite last week were found in Albany Monday evening in a vehicle authorities believe to have been stolen from Brown County, Shackelford County Sheriff Edward Miller said.

"As a matter of fact they're in custody right now," Miller said at 8:15 p.m. "This all happened the last 30 minutes."

Miller said the teens were not injured and are "very cooperative, and we have no problems with them."

The 14- and 16-year-old boys left New Horizons Ranch located near Goldthwaite on Thursday.

The New Horizons Ranch provides treatment programs for boys and girls suffering from emotional, behavioral, and attachment or relationship problems, according to its website.

Mills County Sheriff Clint Hammonds said after the boys left the center, his department received information about a stolen hunting rifle and an all-terrain vehicle from a residence near New Horizons Ranch.

Information was not immediately available on the vehicle believed stolen from Brown County.
